Please note that we may have an extra large crowd this month, as Ben McQuillan will be presenting a Wing’s Safety Seminar on engine problems on takeoff and recent changes at FCM. The public is invited, and the seminar will start at 7:30pm after a brief chapter meeting. We’ll have membership forms and extra newsletters set out for visitors. Please welcome them.
